Linguistic Determinants of Exhibitionism in a Private Facebook Group

Summary/Abstract: This article is a part of the stream of linguistic research on language in social life. It highlights the contemporary mediatised society, subjected to various influences, including fashion, universally understood exhibitionism, and maximum disclosure of one's private life, health-related, to obtain support, advice, or notice. This article presents a single genological analysis of the text, focusing on stylistic and structural aspects. It employs a qualitative method and outlines the schematic structure of these posts, including initial delimitators, segmented corpora and final delimitators. Additionally, the article describes the linguistic indicators of internet exhibitionism. Internet communication, in a way, forces the schematic nature of this genre in terms of structure, in connection with the template layout of the Facebook social portal, where the analysed closed group is located. Linguistically, this is reflected in the spontaneous and expressive language of interlocutors who create posts, serving as initiators of discussions on specific topics. To present their fate, users operate with a written version of the modern Polish language. The study distinguished a colloquial style in its neutral and emotional-colloquial variation within the syntax (order subordinated to the communicative intention, syntactic abbreviations and ellipses, syntax flows, polysyndeton, unfinished utterances, anacoluthon, and the number of repetitions) and lexis with their modifications within selected parts of speech, i.e., nouns, adjectives, and verbs. Among nouns, there are noun, adjectival and verbal nouns, created from typical formants and adequate bases in the informational, nominative function or showing the emotional relationship of the sender with the described activity, process, or state. These are transposition transformations. The participants of the internet discourse use noun, verbal, and adjectival adjectives, among which superlatives are the basis of descriptions motivated by intensification of the conveyed content and maximisation of emotionality. Prefixal verb derivatives constitute a varied group in the example material, in which there are terminative and normative-perdurative formations, reproductive names and names of transformations, including those related to health, i.e., changes in the mental and/or physical state of the writer. The colloquial style is a functional style that is the main exponent of the exhibitionism of the broadcasters' texts. The linguistic layer implements all the stylistic features, including various linguistic mechanisms, contrasting and universalisation, and graphic categories (punctuation, emoticons).
